Shipping and Delivery

No Truck Height Loading Dock: Due to the width of the Anapurna M4F (153 inches) it is important that

the freight vehicle delivering the crated engine have a lift gate. This will allow the forklift to pull the crate

length-wise to the lift gate and together with the forklift supporting one end, the crate can be lowered to

the ground.

With Truck Height Loading Dock: The load dock area must have enough vertical height and space for

the forklift to be able to lift the printer off the pallet.

Forklift Requirements

4409 lbs or 2000 Kg or higher capacity to lift the printer crate.

The forklift blades should be at least 60 inches or 1500 mm in length.

The distance between the fork lift blades should be 41 inches or 1050 mm apart.

Floor Strength and Flatness

The floor must be level with a maximum incline or waviness of +/- 1.3 cm across the footprint. Never

install the printer on carpet.

Doors and Hallway Access

The customer must provide free access through doors and hallways from the entrance to the Anapurna

location so that the printer can be rolled to its position. It will be the customer’s responsibility to have the

system moved to the location of where the Anapurna will be installed. An AGFA Service representative

will be present to assist with moving the equipment. Once on its wheels the printer can be rolled to

position, make sure to provide ramps as necessary to clear any thresholds.

Compressed Air Supply

Wilmington MA 01887

Engine Air Connection: An adapter (shown below) is needed to connect the air hose from the air

regulator to the printer. This should be purchased locally.

Compressor: 3 - 5 HP, min 60 - 80 gallons or better tank. The compressor

regulator should be set between 105 - 110 PSI for trip OFF and

to 85 PSI to trip ON.

Engine Air Pressure: Air from the compressor, going to the Anapurna must be

regulated to

80 PSI. The Air regulator must be supplied by

the customer and located near the engine.

Engine Air Volume: .28 CFM (2 gallons/per minute usage rate)

Compressor Air Quality: Air Filters are required to eliminate moisture (No Water/No Oil)

Air - Water – Oil filtration must be purchased seperately

RIP Software and PC Platform

Wilmington MA 01887

Wasatch RIP

The Wasatch SoftRip is provided for raster image processing of images. Install the Wasatch

SoftRIP on a PC, which meets the following platform specifications.

Minimum Recommended System requirements for Anapurna M4F

¾ CPU Type: Core 2 Duo, 3.06 GHz or faster

¾ 4 Gigabytes Ram

¾ Two Physical hard drives, 120 - 160 gigs size, 10K RPMs, one for the OS, one for the Rip

¾ Windows XP, or Server OS, Windows 7, (Vista is not supported)

• 2 NETWORK CARDS, The RIP Computer requires two network cards, one for the

connection between the RIP and the printer. The second network card is needed for the

connection between the customer’s network and the RIP computer. A crossover cable is

supplied with the unit and is used to connect the Anapurna directly to the RIP computer. The

Anapurna cannot be connected directly to the customer’s network and will not

function as a network printer.

• MULTIPLE HARD DRIVES, by purchasing a PC with 2 physical hard-drives this will speed

up the processing of large image files and improve the reliability of the printer.

• CPU SPEED, The faster the CPU, the faster the software will process your files. Purchase

the fastest available computer you can. More RAM will also help speed up the processing; it

is the speed of the CPU that directly affects how fast SoftRIP runs. If you are processing

large files over 500 MB in size, it is also important to have a minimum of 4 GB of memory.

• WASATCH, Wasatch SoftRIP can process more than one file at a time and takes

advantage of multiple CPUs for this purpose. For every additional processor in your

computer, it is recommended to purchase the maximum amount of RAM for your CPU. It is

important to use multi-gigabyte disk drives on computers that are intended for use in high

resolution printing, especially if you plan to keep the Ripped files available in the Wasatch

Print Queue.

Buying a robust PC platform will provide a quick payback

in faster output speeds and greater reliability!

AC Power Requirements

Wilmington MA 01887

Power Requirements for the Anapurna M4F:

The following electrical requirements must be provided to your electrician.

• Single phase, 208 Y (Wye) power

• 40 Amp, 60Hz, dedicated circuit with ground, no neutral

• The electrician must provide the proper power cord and plug/receptacles (See Note 3)

• Buck boost transformer wiring diagram is on page 10

Important

1. The printer operating voltage range is: 230 – 240 VAC, we need to increase the 208

Voltage to this range for the UV lamps to properly cure the ink. A Buck/Boost

transformer will be required to increase the 208 volts to this range. See pages 9,

10, and 11 for transformer data, configuration, and a sample transformer.

2.

To minimize voltage loss the buck boost transformers should always be located

near the printer.

3. The length of the power cord should be 9 Feet plus the distance to the outlet or

power drop. The plug/receptacle should be a twist lock design in accordance with

local electrical codes. Agfa Service will need to be able to disconnect power when

required.

If your electrician has any questions please contact AGFA at 1 800 879 2432

AC Power Requirements

Wilmington MA 01887

The Buck/Boost Transformer

The Anapurna M4F UV Printers requires power in the 230 – 240 VAC range for the UV lamps to

properly cure the ink. At 208 Volts the customer will have curing problems and the lamps will fail

prematurely.

Buck/Boost Transformer and Specifications:

• KVA Rating: 1.5

• Primary Volts: 120/240

• Secondary Volts: 16/32

• Sola Hevi Duty Catalog #: HS20F1.5A

• Sola Hevi Duty Website is: www.solaheviduty.com

Another source for the 1.5 KVA Buck/Boost transformers is Grainger.com, search for Item #

“2CL93”.

SPECIAL NOTE FOR CANADIAN CUSTOMERS PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

ELECTRICIANS IN CANADA MAY REFER TO A “BUCK BOOST” TRANSFORMER AS AN “AUTO

TRANSFORMER”.

INSTEAD THE TERM “ISOLATION TRANSFORMER WITH STEP UP” SHOULD BE USED SO THAT

THE ELECTRICIAN WILL ORDER THE CORRECT TRANSFORMER FOR THE PRINTER.
